- chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -4/+75great video.
As much as I dislike Sony this video is really cool. - icantdrawanime, on 10/12/2007, -12/+63http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sknTNbM8vTo
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -27/+75Typical of Sony's PR *****, they're advertising the console by showing CG movies.
This wasn't impressive when they did this with PS2, and it sure as hell is not impressive now with PS3. It's especially ludicrous considering that many next-generation games actually look COOLER than the CG cinematics they use in the ads. If only they showed actual gameplay (with actual HUDs and actual user control of the action), even more people would be impressed. What a bunch of insecure idiots!
Video game PR is in the toilet. How pathetic. - awfulshot, on 10/12/2007, -7/+50http://www.playb3yond.com/
just go to the official sony website, its under 'higher definition' , and it doesn't have ***** youtube codecs. - RonWorkman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38Tubes is clogged...... removing poker chips now, horse not cooperarting.
- timdorr, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25Actually, it's PR ***** because image resolution actually comes in 4th when determining picture quality. It's more about color than anything else.
- Stonedonkey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20You know, what I like is how they mention that Blu-Ray has twice the space of an HD-DVD, but they're showing game "footage" throughout, which implies that "someone else" is using HD-DVD for games. Which is not the case. Nor is it in fact accurate. The first *version* of HD-DVD supports 25GB, but the specification of course goes up much higher. As much as 100GB, I believe.
Also, their point about HDMI is obviated by VGA plus optical digital audio, unless you have a $3000 speaker system and a $5000 TV. Otherwise, you just won't see or hear the difference. - CaptainEO, on 10/12/2007, -8/+22"Blue Ray delivers a picture that is 10x the quality of a traditional TV."
So does that mean people with a traditional TV shouldn't bother? That's a heck of a lot of people. - steelmaverick, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19If they wanted to impress me, the video would have to be rendered by the PS3 realtime and downloadable in 1080p quicktime video.

Now if they REALLY wanted to impress ME, they would have a PS3 do ray-tracing, which is the calculation of every single ray of light through every medium. If the PS3 can do that, Sony can have their hands on my $600. Modern PCs can only do it at 6fps, and thats a top of the line system! - Pic0, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21so you Digg something before you release it? this is b3yond stupid
- nerditup, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2350 GB of pure cinematics
- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -8/+20RSX - REALITY SYNTHESIZER!
Blast Processing 2006 style!
YEAH. I bet Sonic can go REAL fast now. - PatrickFisher, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15I didn't see any comercial with a "stupid ass-***** baby". Sounds just wrong...
Ok ok, digg me down for this one. - CaptainEO, on 10/12/2007, -2/+141080p/i as in 1080p or 1080i.
- crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -7/+17If they wanted to impress me, the video would have to be rendered by the PS3 realtime and downloadable in 1080p quicktime video.
- Jayeugene, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Yeah, but some of these sites wouldn't be what they are now if they never were on Digg, so just think, the more you digg the stories, the more people go to the site, then there are more unique visitors, then more ad clicks... then more ad revenue which will lead to these sites being able to afford servers and bandwidth to become big enough to be able to cover stories and not just throw rumors all day. Capeche?
- DiggityDugged, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15Well worth the wait, awesome examples of the Cell. I still am not hyped about PS3 this Xmas, but I know i will be by next year's Christmas.
- quamb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11thats what I was thinking.
regardless of the kind of consumers hanging around on digg and gaming sites, looking forward to shiney hd graphics - the truth is hd-tv owners are still in the minority, especially in countries other then the US (for example, only a handful of TV's in stores are hd-compatible here in Australia). - jjbird, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11a youtube video that demonstrates the amazing graphic rendering capability of a game system......the irony
still a good video though - SimonX314, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Neotechni, stop spreading Sony fanboy misinformation, the 360 is perfectly capable of rendering native 1080p content.
http://uk.gear.ign.com/articles/735/735860p1.html - rstarr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9My suggestion? Shoot a lottery ball through and that should unclog those tubes.
Ah the lottery, simultaneously stupid people tax and RotoRooter. - stan205, on 10/12/2007, -11/+18All I saw was a montage of cut scenes. When will game makers realize that showing amazing cut scenes and no actual game play is getting rather old. Oh yeah, only when consumers demand that they stop pulling the wool over our eyes. It starts now, GO!
- Husky217, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10There was another good ad like this one, with a "smarter" theme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYy6yUd8H28
Yet when it made it on TV, they just showed a rubik's cube being solved, then explode. I predict we'll just see a creepy flower in their next TV commercial. - andrusk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7For those who think they know alot about those technologies, it sure sounds impressive. But for those who actually know alot about those technologies, they know sony is full of PR *****.
- edzieba, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9You mean VC1 on the HD-DVD. H.264 is what Blu-Ray is switching to (after the first run of MPEG2 content).
- WhereAmI, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9wow carapi I never seen such an anti-Sony ***** against Sony so much they insult the very sites that post something positive on it.
oh wait, thats Digg everyday. - tendonut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Because it actually has relevance to the console itself. You know Sony doesn't like commercials with a point. Lets downplay the Dreamcast by showing a guy sucking a silver snot in his nose. OMG! SO MUCH BETTER THAN A DREAMCAST!!!!!!11!!one!!
A PS3 solving a rubics cube then making it explode. OMG GOTTA SELL MY 360!!!!11!!one!!11
Let the digging down begin! - ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Sexy and beautiful. Of course, this explains why Genji got 9.0s and 9.5s for presentation and graphics in that IGN review. Now if only the gameplay didn't suck. (Like that stopped Enter The Matrix....)
- AmazingAndrex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6N64 carts brought us essentially true 3D gaming with Mario 64, and before that with Star Fox for the SNES.
You *still* don't know anything WhereAmI. Though, can't expect a lot from a Sony fanboy. - maxx77, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Sony will never cease to show cgi and cutscenes to sell their videogames. Phil Harris (or was it Kutaragi?) recently said something to the effect that he sees nothing wrong with using a console to run video in place of realtime graphics. This commercial is yet more propoganda.
- jellygraph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5lol, thanks to sony for instructing me on what a pixel is
- sooperdooper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6You both need to realize a couple things.
1) This is not a commercial for a game. It's for a console which is being used to push a new type of disc for games and movies. The "amazing cut-scenes" are the whole point.
2) It's a freaking commercial. If you want to call it "propaganda," fine. But what the hell did you expect? This isn't some governmental "hearts and minds" campaign. It's a company's ad campaign. There's a difference. - waterdrop, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6They never put it on TV because 98% of people watching the commercial would not know crap about HDMI, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, 1080p, or any of this "technical mobo joebo". Some viewers may even be turned off by all the "computer talk". But for us smart people, the commercial is quite interesting.
- tendonut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Wait, what? You mean we actually have to make GOOD games and specs won't sell a console? *****, back to square one.
- MM005, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6And yet nothing on the PS3 looks better then Gears of War lol! Got to love Sony Marketing lol!
- merc22, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6This is the PS3 baby commerical:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqkNPcUMffU - interiot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The playb3yond.com link for Games says "coming soon". That says it all...
- cnowacek, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Those old commercials would be much better if the had a crying rubick's and an exploding baby... just a thought
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7lol not even 6 hours long I passed in 4 hours and 20 minutes my first time playing. it would be cool if they could have fit more levels and make them bigger too :(
- LowFuel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That gets a pepsi-through-the-nose from me. :)
- vd0man, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The thing is, it ISN'T 10x the picture quality.
Standard TV: 704 x 480 = 337920 pixels
HDTV: 1920 x 1080 = 2073600 pixels
2073600 / 337920 = 6.136
BluRay is only 6x the picture quality of Standard TV. WTF is Sony smoking?
(LOL, just now the spell checker didn't recognize "BluRay" and recommended "blurry" as the correct spelling.) - tidu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3yeah, because one of the agreements in the contract was what started the "wait after upload period" .... :rolleyes:
- crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The Rubix Cube One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpxWCSsjniE
=P - edzieba, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Ah, the wonderful world of native vs scaling. Which is which? The hype from nether side will tell you (and unless you have a devkit to read the framebuffer from, you'll probably never know for sure).
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@steelmaverick
In 1999 a company called VM Labs had a (now quite defunct) media processor dubbed "NUON." They demoed a real-time raytraced sequence, and I believe the code for the demo is available somewhere.
http://www.nuon-dome.com/ - NeoTechni, on 10/12/2007, -9/+12360 upscales to 1080p, where PS3 renders at it natively
- lcmatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2All that about how great the thing is, one slight problem I dont have a HD-TV, Nice one Sony!
- pizzatime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it's lance henriksen, bishop from Alien and frank black from Millenium
http://imdb.com/name/nm0000448/ - goingstuckey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Both HD-DVD and Blu-ray support mpeg2, vc1, and h264. Every player ever sold for both formats supports all three codecs. Initial movies for blu-ray were only in mpeg2 because it was the only format supported by sony's initial encoder sent to studios.
Movies are now coming out for Blu-ray (Kingdom of Heaven) that are 50gb and h264... I doubt HD-DVD will be able to match that in picture quality. - trubbleshute, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Husky217,
"Is it smarter than you?" "With the cell processor, no two snowflakes will be alike".
I'm a gamer, I'll buy a PS3. But cmon, how much detail do we really need on a console? I won't be looking at snowflakes. -
